learning to drive standard with that much power! That's awesome! I'm surprised no one mentioned this - but when I was first learning to drive standard, I was taught to double clutch properly. Its no longer really necessary but it is the ultimate in synchromesh/tranny and clutch preservation. I still do it daily, especially when my gearbox was new and when it's cold. Its the best method for engine to tranny speed matching imo.
